Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman

Harrison's main hollow-body electric guitar of the mid-60s.

25
songs
It was used on 25 recordings, from 1963 to 1964, sixteen of them in 1963. The first is 'I'll Get You' and the last 'She's a Woman'. Nothing after 1964 has it. Norman Smith engineered all 25. Lennon and McCartney reach for it at the same rate, 12% and 10% of their own songs. On 'I'll Cry Instead', Harrison's lead guitar here rather than the twelve-string Rickenbacker he had just bought. On 'Mr. Moonlight' it is Harrison's electric guitar overdub. Of those, 'Money (That's What I Want)' has Baldwin Satin Ebony Grand on it, one of only three of their recordings that do.
